Colony Oaks Elementary (Bastrop ISD): Bastrop 78602
Colony Oaks Elementary is a newer public PK-5 school in the town of Bastrop (78602), part of Bastrop ISD, feeding the Bastrop Middle and Bastrop High path. It's too recent for a full Niche letter grade yet, but its proficiency already clears the district on both reading and math. Here's the straight picture: the numbers it does have, the path it feeds, and what being zoned to Colony Oaks means for your home search.
Is Colony Oaks Elementary a good school?
Here's the read. Colony Oaks is a newer campus, so Niche doesn't carry a full overall letter grade for it yet, which is normal for a school this young. What the data does show is encouraging: both proficiency scores clear the Bastrop ISD averages, around 31% in math versus 28% and around 46% in reading versus 35%. It's a PK-5 campus of about 724 students with a 17:1 ratio in a lower-need part of Bastrop (about 53% in the free-lunch program, under the district). For families buying into this side of town, the early numbers point the right direction.

Colony Oaks is too new for a full Niche overall grade, so I lean on the proficiency numbers, which already clear the district on both reading and math. For a young campus, that's a promising start, and its lower free-lunch share points to a different part of Bastrop.
